Friends With Benefits. Can You Remain Friends After?

Friends are friends, however sometimes things get a little bit closer. According to Elite Daily, just because you have relations with your friend, this does not mean that you still cannot be friends afterwards.

According to Dr. Justin Lehmiller, just because you have seen your friend in a seductive light, does not mean that you can never be friends again. It simply means you have to be on the same page, and understand fully the expectations of what you are both doing. So how does this break down? 

Specifically, just 18.5 percent said that they were no longer friends at all, 31.5 percent remained friends but were less close than they used to be, 35.4 percent remained friends and were just as close as they were before they started having sex, while 14.6 percent remained friends and were even closer than before.
